Jam "Plum in chocolate"
Plum and chocolate jam will become a favorite healthy treat in the family, especially for children. This dessert requires a little patience to prepare.
.
Ingredients:
Ripe plum – 2000 g;
Granulated sugar – up to 1000 g;
Dark chocolate – 150 g;
Nut (any) – 200 g;
Vanilla essence (or a packet of vanillin) – 2-3 drops.
Preparation:
Step 1: Preparing the plums.
For jam, take ripe plums of any variety and density. The fruits are soaked in plenty of cold water and washed. Then they are sorted out, spoiled plums are removed, leaves and tails are picked, and seeds are removed. Then, in a wide dish with high walls, lay out the slices in layers with the flesh facing up. Each layer is crushed with granulated sugar. The amount of sugar is selected depending on the type of plum. If the fruits are soft and sweet, then add 500-700 g of sugar. The plums are left alone until the juice forms.
Step 2: Preparing nut crumbs.
You can use any type of nut. First, the kernels are cleaned and dried in a hot frying pan for several minutes (or in the oven), constantly shaking the frying pan. The nuts are allowed to cool and the husks (skins) are removed. Then they are crushed in a mortar or blender.
In order for jam to replace a festive dessert, it is prepared differently. Remove the pits from the plums, being careful not to separate the segments. The nut kernel is placed in the resulting “cream”. And they do this for as long as they have enough patience. The cooking process is identical to the previous one.
Step 3: Making jam.
If the plums have not released juice after a few hours, it is advisable to add 200 ml of apple juice or water. Place the dishes with the prepared fruits on low heat and let them boil, without disturbing them. After boiling, remove the dishes from the heat. An hour later the procedure is repeated again. And cook until thickened and maximum evaporation of moisture. Before the last cooking, crushed nuts and vanilla essence are added. Mix everything and wait for it to boil. Then remove from heat and add chocolate slices, stirring continuously until it dissolves.
The finished plum jam is rolled into dry, sterilized jars. Place upside down in a darkened space and cover with a towel. When the jam has cooled completely, put it in a dark and cool place.
This “plum in chocolate” can be stored for years.
From 2 kg of plums, the yield of finished jam is 1600-1800 ml.
Plum jam with chocolate and cocoa for the winter. The recipe is amazingly delicious.
Plum and chocolate are very good friends. This combination is the basis of many delicious pies, creams and other desserts.
Why not preserve this wonderful, summery and velvety taste and enjoy it in winter? To make plum jam thicker, add apples, which, thanks to the pectin they contain, will work as a natural thickener.
A small pinch of cinnamon will perfectly complement the taste of plum jam with chocolate and cocoa.
300 grams plums
2 apples
40 grams dark chocolate
350 grams of sugar
optional spices (1 teaspoon cocoa and cinnamon on the tip of a knife).
Prepare jars and lids: wash them thoroughly and sterilize. Wash the fruit. Halve the plums, remove the pits and cut them into quarters.
Remove the core from the apples. If there are wormholes, remove them. Cut the fruits into small slices.
Add cinnamon to sugar. Then add cocoa to the cinnamon sugar. Cocoa will enhance the chocolate flavor in the jam.
Mix spices with sugar.
Place apples and plums in a chopping container. Grind the fruits in a blender until smooth. If there are small pieces left, it's okay.
Pour the pulp into a bowl with a thick bottom. It is advisable not to use enamel containers - the jam may stick to them.
Pour sugar into the bowl and stir.
Bring the jam to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Cook it for 7-10 minutes.
The jam will take on a pleasant burgundy color.
It's time to add the chocolate. Break it into cubes and put it in the jam. Stir well to dissolve the chocolate and distribute it evenly.
Remove the jam from the heat and pour it into sterile jars, then seal tightly.
Cool the jam jars by turning them upside down and wrapping them in a blanket or towel.
You can store plum jam with chocolate for the winter covered without refrigeration, preferably in a dark and dry place.
